Somatic Stem Cells

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Somatic stem cells are basically adult stem cells that are found in both children and adult humans. The Regeneration center uses adult stem cells that are isolated from a tissue samples from cord blood,placenta,adipose (fat) or dental pulp. Embryonic vs Somatic Stem Cells (Adult) Somatic stem cells, also known as adult stem cells, are a type of undifferentiated cell found …

Tetraploid Complementation Assay

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Tetraploid complementation assays are used to examine the potency of a particular stem cell.  Scientific studies in medical journals performed on chimeras (the mixture of cells of two distinct animals) revealed that the fusion of two embryos with eight cells resulted into cells containing four sets of chromosomes referred to as tetraploid cells, which are predisposed to developing into an …

Zygote Formation in Humans

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Zygotes are single cell that is generated after the egg has been fertilized by the sperm. The zygote then merges chromosomes from both of the gametes. After which, several divisions will take place for the production of embryonic cells at roughly four days after fertilization. The zygote stage lasts for only about 4 days in total. On and around the 5th …

Adipose Tissue Derived Stem Cells ASC Therapy

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Adipose tissue pertains to fat, which is primarily made up of fat cells known as adipocytes. [1] Adipose stem cells or “ASCs” are an source of therapeutic mesenchymal cells for younger patients or those seeking cosmetic treatments like stem cell breast treatment and stem cell facelifts.  Unlike the limited quantities of bone marrow derived stem stem cells “BMSCs” The adipose …

Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Procedure & Recovery

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Glossary

Autologous stem cells such as Adipose tissue derived stem cells are the opposite of allogenic stem cells, as only one patient stands as both donor and receiver. The stem cells will be harvested from the patient’s body, most common location of which is the bone marrow, and will be transplanted back to the patient for treatment of a variety of …
